e-MS Composit Hornet > Can't stop the wobble

I can't get a good flight. I have gotten the heli to fly fine before, but after upgrading to turbine swash, razor v2, and a couple other upgrades, I have yet to get a good flight. There is a wobble in its flight, almost as if the blades were out of track, but they have been tracked to the best of my ability. I balanced the blades, and there does not seem to be any bad vibes going through it. The blade grips are screw in and loctited as firm as possible, although there is a little in an out play in them. They do not seem to play up and down that much at all. The swash stays reasonably firm.

Make it idiot-proof, and someone will make a better idiot

Experiments

I ungeared the tail and held the tail in my hand as I floated the heli in the air. I noticed as I gave cyclic input it would vibrate and the vibs got worse as the cyclic increased. At center stick it was vibration free.

Try adding some trim tape to one fly bar paddle and see if it gets better or worse if it gets worse, move to the other side. On the tail, tighten up the tail blades and the move one slightly back or forward and repeat until the tail is smooth. I did both of these and got everything spinning real smooth.
